Fletchers Bellarine makes meal deal with Feed Me

REAL estate agency Fletchers Bellarine aims to make a difference towards helping those experiencing food insecurity through a new partnership with Feed Me.

Announced last month, the arrangement will see Fletchers Bellarine donate the equivalent of 200 meals with every home sold through the agency.

Fletchers Bellarine has kickstarted the partnership by donating 5,000 meals to Feed Me.

Those attending open homes will also be able to contribute to the cause by scanning a QR code that will be displayed at every inspection and donating $5, which will buy five meals under the Feed Me program.

“Our commitment to the community goes beyond helping people find their dream homes,” Fletchers Bellarine director James Gladman said.

“Through this new initiative, we want to make a meaningful difference to our neighbours by ensuring those in need have access to delicious, nourishing meals.”

Feed Me supports more than 2,000 local families in need in Geelong, the Bellarine and the Surf Coast.

The meals are composed of ingredients and products sourced through Feed Me’s food rescue program.

“We are incredibly excited about this new partnership,” Feed Me founder Lana Purcell said.

“This initiative with Fletchers will significantly enhance our efforts to nourish our community in a dignified way.”

Feed Me averages 6,000 meals a week, with most of them distributed through the organisation’s outreach and delivery model.

“By saving good quality food and products from local businesses and commercial avenues, we are not only preventing unnecessary waste but also feeding those in need, meaning every rescued meal is a testament to the power of community compassion and sustainability,” Ms Purcell said.
